    Why try griddled romaine?

    • Grilled lettuce might seem odd, but it brings a new flavor experience and sensory experience to have warmed romaine lettuce as part of a salad.
    • A grilled romaine salad on the griddle is definitely a pretty healthy and great griddle appetizer for dinner or lunch.
    • While I love traditional gas grilled romaine lettuce, which gets a nice dry char, this griddle version is very convenient.
    • This more- healthy griddle cooking idea is great for a BBQ menu appetizer or casual weeknight griddled dinner meal with the family.

    Salad with Griddled Romaine Lettuce and Cilantro Dressing on a Party Appetizer

    I first fell in love with grilled romaine as served caesar-salad style with fresh parmesan and toasted baguette bread. 

    Here we’ve changed things up a bit, preparing it on the griddle…

    Then serving it with a cilantro vinaigrette, feta cheese, griddled onions and peppers, and sourdough bread from Bresnan Bread and Pastry.

    You’ll see how this salad comes together in the recipe video at the bottom of this post…

    Meat thermometer recommendations

    Every home chef needs a reliable meat thermometer to cook food perfectly. 

    On Sip Bite Go, you’ll often see me using:

    1. Meater thermometer – a fancy wireless thermometer that connects to a phone app – gifted to me from a Traeger partnership.
    2. ThermoPro digital thermometer – which has a wire that connects the thermometer to a display box outside the oven/grill. 

    It’s like being psychic! The great thing about either of the thermometers above is that I don’t have to take the food out of the oven to know the temperature. 

    How to use ‘em… What I do is stick the digital thermometer in steak, pork, chicken, whatever… Then put the food in the oven, on the smoker, or grill.

    While the meat cooks, it reads the temperature so I know exactly what temp meat is as it’s cooking. Without having to take it out and check. It’s really difficult to overcook food when you know exactly what temp it is inside!

    Are you a foodie, too?

    Hey home chef, hope that answers all your questions about making a tasty romaine salad dish on the griddle. It’s pretty unique! 

    Enjoy cooking and chat soon on Instagram / TikTok / YouTube.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
